A technician is installing a new wireless badging system on a hospital network. The requirements of the badging system are for it to have its own SSID and low power levels. The badging system has to cover 99.9% of the hospital. Which of the following is the BEST action to take to meet the system requirements?
Installing additional Wireless Access Points (WAPs) is the best action to take to meet the requirement for the wireless badging system to cover 99.9% of the hospital with its own SSID and low power levels. By adding more WAPs, the coverage area can be expanded while maintaining low transmission power, which helps in achieving the necessary coverage without causing interference with other wireless systems.
A technician attempts to replace a switch with a new one of similar model from the same vendor. When the technician moves the fiber and SFP plug, the switch does not completely boot up. Considering that the config files are the same, which of the following is the MOST likely cause of the failure?
The most likely cause of a failure for the switch not completely booting up, given that the configuration files are the same, would be a hardware issue like a bad port. Connections and hardware components need to be checked before software issues are suspected in such cases. If the port to which the fiber and SFP plug are connected is defective, it can prevent the switch from successfully completing the boot process.
A company has hundreds of nodes on a single subnet and has decided to implement VLANs. Which of the following BEST describes the benefit of this approach?
Implementing VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) in a network helps to segment broadcast domains. In large networks with many nodes, this segmentation is beneficial because it confines broadcast traffic to smaller groups of devices. This reduces the overall broadcast traffic on the network and enhances performance and management of network traffic. Broadcast domain segmentation also enhances security and reduces collision domains by providing logical separation between different network segments.
A company has completed construction of a new datacenter, and the IT staff is now planning to relocate all server and network equipment from the old site to the new site. Which of the following should the IT staff reference to determine the location of the equipment being moved?
To determine the physical location of the equipment being moved, the IT staff should reference rack diagrams. Rack diagrams visually represent how equipment is arranged within the racks in a datacenter. This helps in precisely identifying where each piece of equipment should be placed in the new site, ensuring an organized and efficient setup. Other options, such as network topology, standard operating procedures, or wiring documentation, do not provide the same level of detail regarding the exact physical location of each piece of equipment within the datacenter.
Which of the following would allow a device to maintain the same IP address lease based on the physical address of the network card?
MAC address reservation allows a device to maintain the same IP address lease based on the physical address of the network card. The physical address, also known as the MAC address, is used by the DHCP server to reserve a specific IP address for that device, ensuring the device receives the same IP address each time it connects to the network.
